The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lucy Allan on 2016-05-04.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans the Government has for future changes in doctors’ remuneration.

Ben Gummer

It is the responsibility of the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration (DDRB) to make recommendations to government on the remuneration of doctors and dentists working in the National Health Service. We are also taking forward contract reform for consultants and junior doctors. The General Practitioner (GP) contract for 2016/17 will see an investment of £220 million for 2016/17 – part of this will provide a pay uplift of 1% for GPs.
